Firefox, yes, most of your comments show that you ave not properly read the Developer Blog first, which is absolutely essential when testing an 'alpha' release.
Your 'hda' drive is now 'sda' and all references to 'hda' are no longer valid, including anything in the GRUB 'menu.lst' file.

Regarding it being "confusing" not having 'hda', that's the way it is. The major distros have gone over to this system and eventually all will, except for those stuck on the 2.4 kernel.
It actually has advantages, being the uniformity of naming the internal drives -- what is really confusing is mixed IDE and SATA drives and the different hd and sd names can cause problems, for example with GRUB._________________http://barryk.org/news/

Universal Installer did not install "ldlinux.sys". This causes a boot error. This appears to be caused by the lack of "mcopy" which causes a broken pipe. The workaround is to use Puppy 3.01 to first install a copy of itself. After completing the Puppy 3.01 installation, just delete the Puppy 3.01 files and copy , vmlinuz, intrid.gz, pup_393.sfs, and zdriv_393.sfs to the device. Alternately, one can find ldlinux.sys in another install and copy it to the device, without doing a complete installed. Device boot and Dingo alpha 3 started.

My wireless drive module is RT73 is missing. I sure this will be fixed with time.

At startup, it was reported the file system was uncheck and need e2fsck to be used. This is similar to problem reported for Puppy 3.01._________________Enjoy life, Just Greg

I have a ipw2100 wireless device
Setting up via Network wizard
The correct driver loads.
I scan and my AP is found.
Gave the WEP key.

I scan again and select an unprotected AP
Tested the interface ok.
Got a IP
Can connect to internet.

Same problem as with alpha 2 (392)

BTW: nice the SeaMonkey at 1.1.6 with the spell checking. (need it )_________________Time savers:

Hi Barry,
tested latest Dingo on old and new hardware:
my old Toshiba laptop needed it's usual xorg tweaks (no surprise).
Also it's sound module wasn't loaded so had to modprobe snd_es1968 but after that sound works. PCMCIA network card works (after loading 8139too driver, same as for previous Puppies). Gxine gui is hanging after it's wizard closes on this laptop so have to issue a killall gxine from terminal.

New Laptop (HP nc6400) has a better report with everything working pretty much straight away. I notice on both laptops gxine wizard can't find the cdrom even though the link to /dev/sr0 is already set.

- very responsive printing! first time I've experienced this quick response: click the print button and the printer hums almost immediately.

- consumes only about 80MB RAM (it must have detected less than 128 MB RAM and mounted the CD), despite the large swap partition in the PC, that is.

Minuses:

- pmount's mounting/unmounting USB drive can take ages - I tried 2 USB drives and in the second USB mounting, pmount virtually disappeared and the CPU usage steadily climbed, so I had to killall pmount. Later, I restarted pmount and was able to unmount one USB after the another; pmount disappeared for about 3 minutes, then reappeared.

- volume control box would not disappear when opened.

- freememapplet would not enable viewing of partitions when clicked (OK, just a wish that it works the usual way )_________________Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? Get the sfs (English only).

I was the one who reported with Puppy 3.01 that I froze on one computer during cd bootup on the long serialdetect line.

With Dingo, I don't crash! In fact, this is the first time I've had puppy running on this Fry's crummy amd 64-bit clone which is my main desktop computer, running Linux Mint and lately the marvelous but inconsistent Geubuntu. (I joined the Puppy cult just as 3.01 was released, so I am unknown to most of you.) I normally run Puppy on a Compaq Presario laptop and a Dell D800 Latitude, both with Windows XP as their main operating system but mostly running Linux on a CD or USB Flash thing these days.

I never got my official beta tester's membership card, but I am a compulsive tester and installer.

The resolution found "out of the box" for my laptop (xorg) is 1024x748 instead of 1480x800 as it should be.

Do you have a seperate Graphics card (especially an ATi)? If so it probably needs a special driver to cater for "odd" resolutions. It happens to me every time until the (usually proprietory) driver has been compiled and a .pet assembled - usually by Kirk or one of the other specialists. Until then it's 1024 x 768 whatever xorg.conf says!
